I suspect that there are about 100 different versions of what people mean by "vibecoding"

I’ve finally found a project which exhausts my $20 claude, oh wise codetard should I pay for codex in first instance?

yes. but others disagree! I am but one data point that codex is better.

I’ll keep claude because I like chatting to my french friend but between 1) claude at $200 or api rates 2) weird open model api 3) $20 codex 4) nudging claude every 4hr 3 seems most likely to get my thing finished without feeling cheated

hmm, I suspect you won't like the limits on $20 codex much either. but I do get by very well on 5.5 low reasoning which can help stretch it while being very usable. both do have $100 plans too. I max out $200 codex every week so I might have a warped perspective on how limiting the $20 codex is

I’m still a single-threaded please let me see what’s happening guy which I think helps, where would you say codex feels v claude from like the same to twice as much

it's definitely better than claude. maybe feels like 1.75x? I think I usually hit 5hr limit in 3hrs when I have to use my gf's plus plan at the end of the week when I'm out of pro usage
